Denver Broncos RB Laurence Maroney was added as depth to the running back position behind RBs Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter, reports The Associated Press. Maroney, when healthy, should be able to step right in because he knows the team's offensive system, which is very similar to that of the New England Patriots. Head coach Josh McDaniels said the team is at the point where another injury or two to their top backs would leave them incredibly thin with experienced depth at the position. "It's not that we don't have players, we just don't have a lot of players behind them that have played football in the NFL," McDaniels said. McDaniels also was not happy with the running game production during Week 1, as he feels the team left a lot of yards on the field.

Denver Broncos RB Correll Buckhalter (neck, back) rushed three times for three yards and caught two passes for 26 yards Thursday, Sept. 2, in his first game action since suffering an injury early in the preseason, reports The Associated Press.
